DOCUMENT PREPARATION PHASE
See More
1
Document Collection
Collect all essential vital records from your Italian lineage, incuding birth, marriage, and death certificates for yourself, your parents, and grandparents. We'll help you understand which documents are necessary and procure additional records like baptismal records or documents showing legal name changes and divorces.
2
Document Legalization
All non-Italian documents must be authenticated with an Apostille to be valid in Italy. Each document (except specific exemptions like naturalization records from USCIS) requires appropriate apostille according to the 1961 Hague Convention.
3
Translation and Certification
We manage the translation of your documents into Italian, ensuring each translation is certified for accuracy through official certification by a judicial authority in Italy or through certification of conformity by your local Italian consulate.
COURT PROCEEDINGS PHASE

4
Filing Your Petition
We prepare and file your petition in court, detailing your eligibility for Italian citizenship by descent, and highlighting all pertinent aspects of your family history and applicable laws.
5
Case Monitoring
After filing, your case will be assigned a number and a judge. We closely monitor the progress and inform you when the judge schedules the first hearing, keeping you updated on any changes.
6
Court Proceedings
Our legal team manages the court hearings, where the judge evaluates the case. Most cases are resolved in a single hearing, though some may require a follow-up hearing for additional clarifications
7
Final Judgment
The final judgment, typically issued within 6-12 months from the last hearing, will confirm your italian citizenship if successful. This judgment is your key to officially becoming an Italian citizen.
